The proposed research combines an innovative eigenvector method with other electromagnetic techniques to produce a hybrid approach towards solving the EM coupling to satellite cavity problem. The physical structure is divided into an exterior region and one or more interior regions. The exterior region is modeled with method of moments (MOM) and or hybrids of MOM with the uniform theory of diffr ...

THIS PROPOSAL DESCRIBES THE EVALUATION OF REQUIREMENTS FOR REMOTE WEATHER SAMPLING SYSTEMS APPLIED TO A SPECIFIED UNMANNED METEOROLOCIALRECONNAISSANCE AIRCRAFT. DATA TO BE GATHERED INCLUDE CLOUD STATISTICS, WATER CONTENT AND PARTICLE SIZE, DENSITY AND WIND. LIQUID WATER CONTENT MEASUREMENT IS CONSIDERED BASED ON USING EXISTING INSTRUMENTS AND THE PROPOSER'S CONCEPTUAL DESIGN OF A NEW INSTRUMENT. D ...

THE LIQUID WATER CONTENT OF CLOUDS IS ONE OF THE MOST FUNDAMENTAL QUANTITIES IN THE ATMOSPHERE. YET, NO INSTRUMENT HAS BEEN DEVELOPED FOR MEASURING LIQUID WATER CONTENT IN BOTH LIQUID AND SOLID PHASE CLOUDS. THIS IS A PROPOSAL TO DEVELOP THE PRELIMINARY DESIGN OF AN AIRBORNE INSTRUMENT FOR MEASURING LIQUID WATER IN ALL NATURAL CLOUDS, WITH EITHER LIQUID OR ICE CLOUD PARTICLES. THE SYSTEM WILL FEAT ...

DEVELOPMENT OF A PLAN AND ITS DEMONSTRATION IN PRODUCING MODERN DATABASE FOR RV TECHNOLOGIES IS PROPOSED BY USING CLOUD MICROPHYSICAL DATA SETS COLLECTED SINCE 1985 OVER THE NORTH AMERICAN CONTINENT AND U.S. ARMY KWAJALEIN ATOLL. THE PLAN INCLUDES THE USE OF AIRBORNE RADAR, MODELING, AND SATELLITE ADDITIONS TO THE PARTICLE SIZE DATA TO CORRELATE PARTICLE SIZE AND LIQUID WATER CONTENT OVER AN EXTEN ...

PHASE I OF THIS PROPOSAL IS CONCERNED WITH THE DEVELOPMENT OF A DESIGN FOR A GENERIC INTELLIGENCE VALUE MODEL WHICH CAN BE USED FOR MANY DIFFERENT INTELLIGENCE AND WEAPON APPLICATIONS. THIS MODEL WILL ALLOW (FOR EACH PIECE AND LEVEL OF DATA) AN ASSOCIATED ESTIMATE OF THE INTELLIGENCE VALUE OF THIS DATA TO AN OPPOSING INTELLIGENCE SERVICE. THE DESIGN INVOLVES ASSOCIATIONAL RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN DIF ...

THE PROJECT WILL ADOPT EXISTING SENSOR AND ELECTRICAL CONTROL TECHNOLOGY AND EQUIPMENT TO SENSE CHANGES IN ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS THAT MIGHT BE DETRIMENTAL TO PERSONNEL AND EQUIPMENT IN DEEP UNDERGROUND TUNNEL COMPLEXES. BASED UPON LIMITING CONDITIONS SET INTO CONTROL SYSTEM COMPUTER PROGRAM, THE SENSOR SIGNALS WILL AUTOMATICALLY CLOSE OFF THE TUNNEL COMPLEX FROM ABOVE GROUND ENVIRONMENTS OR ISOLAT ...

STANDARD TOADS CRYSTALS DO NOT PERFORM CONSISTENTLY AT LOW OVERPRESSURES DUE IN PART TO LOW SIGNAL OUTPUT OF THE PZT CRYSTAL AND ALSO DUE TO ELECTRICAL CROSSTALK. WE PROPOSE TO INVESTIGATE TWO TOA TRANSDUCER TYPES THAT ARE PROVEN CONCEPTS IN OTHER APPLICATIONS. WE WILL DESIGN TECHNICIAN FRIENDLY INTERFACES FOR THESE MEASUREMENT SYSTEMS. THE PHASE I DESIGN WILL INTERFACE WITH STANDARD TOADS III REC ...
